We're committed to doing as much as we can to support applicants who have disabilities. Please contact Sonia Matthew on +44 (0)20 7611 8821 or Tracey Wickham on +44 (0)20 7611 8593 to let us know of any adjustments we can make to help you during the application process.

If you're an applicant from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, please be aware that we're bound by legal restrictions that affect our ability to employ non-EEA nationals in the UK.

This legislation requires us to view evidence of the successful candidate's eligibility to work in the UK before confirming any offer of employment.

Currently, we can only apply for work permits to fill a vacancy if:

the role is on the shortage occupation list

there are no suitable settled candidates

there are no candidates from a country in the EEA to fill the role.

In some very specific circumstances, individuals may find they are able to personally apply for a visa that gives them the right to work here.

Essential work on our job application system

You won't be able to apply for one of our current vacancies, or access an application you've already started, between 22.00 GMT on Friday 25 January and 06.00 GMT on Saturday 26 January while we do some essential maintenance.

Phishing scams

We don’t charge a fee or ask for your bank details at any point during the recruitment process.
If you get an email that uses Wellcome’s logo or name and asks for payment, please forward it to jobs@wellcome.ac.uk.

Recruitment agency policy

We don't accept speculative CVs from recruitment agencies and only pay recruitment agency fees when we instruct an agency.

If unsolicited CVs and proposals are submitted by any other means than our recruitment portal:

we reserve the right to contact candidates directly without paying agency fees

we take this as evidence of full and unlimited acceptance of Wellcome's recruitment agency policy.

We do sometimes work with a list of preferred suppliers to help us source candidates for specific roles.
